it was all under cover of secrecy. DR..
Rutherford's friends claim that he will be

From conversations INDUCED in by

THE FISHERIES QUESTION.
An Interview with Canada's Late Minister
of Fisheries

of Fisheries.
TORONTO, ONT, Jan. PA special
from Ottowa, Ont, to the Mail, says
everybody is so much taken up discussing
election matters, that the recent action Of
the United States Senate in passing re-
retaliatory legislation on the fisheries is
almost overlooked.
Mr.. Mcclellan, late Minister OF Fish
cries, says respecting the Edmuuds bill
Canada, in every instance has shown the
greatest courtesy to the fishermen
OF the United States when keep
ing them within treaty bounds.
The whole trouble in arriving
at q settlement, 1 believe, has arisen from
Misrepresentation on the part of the cap
tains of American fishing vessels of the
action of the Canadian authorities. All
we want to do is TO stand to our rights
as defined in the treaty
This retaliatory bill proposes
to prevent importations from Canada of
fish or any other Canadian product which
may be so declared against by proclama-
ton of the President. 1t Is well known
that they cannot do without
our fish. According to their latest
census returns the value of their fisheries,
exclusive of oysters, only averaged 45
cents per head of Its population annually,
and no one pretends to say that
is sufficient for their people
Since the catch of fish has not
been largely augmented they are depend
mt to great extent on other countries
for their supply. l am inclined
to think that this bill will cut
both ways, and 1 do not anticipate
that we snail De greatly troubled by it.
What steps this government will take in
the matter, am not prepared to say"

NEGRO EMIGRATION.
A General Rush of Blacks for the Yazoo
Bottom.

special to the Gazette.
VICKsBURG, MISS, Jan. 27.-The
movement in Mississippi against the Ia
Dor or so-called emigration agents
against persuading the negroes to emf
CRATE from the whole country to the
swamps has broken out afresh in Rank
in county. At meeting at the court
house in Brandon most all the promi-
nent citizens, merchants and planters
were present. The labor agents
enticiDg col0red men ard their
families from their homes were
warned to leave the country in twelve
hours and never TO venture in it again
If they do so they will probably be rough
IL dealt with. While the emigration Of
negroes from Kinds county has somewhat
fallen eff the movement towards the Mis-
sissippi bottoms continues as active as
ever from Rankin, Emmit and Newton in
Mississippi and Green and other counties
in Eastern Alabama. -Four hundred
to 600 negroes reach Yicks-
burg daily for the YaZOO
country. Emigration from Green coun-
ty has reached the largest proportion IN
any county of that section. There is actual
restitution among the negroes who have
made bad crops, and who are in many in
stances upon the verge of starvation.
The merchants themselves are greatly
pressed to pay their debts, and have been
compelled to crowd their debtors, and
many have lost everything by
foreclosure. Large numbers of negroes
have already left for the Yazoo bottom,
and they are going every day, the farmers
offering no active opposition to this move
ment, although they will greatly suffer by
it; but stringent measures have been
taken in Kinds, Emmit and Rankin coun-
ties to prevent it, and no emigration or
labor agents are allowed to operate.

TREE CLAIM JUMPING.

Tree claim jumping has become the
order of the day in Big Stone and
Traverse counties. There is All or.
ganized band OF sharks in Graceville
and vicinity whose object is to con.
test every tree claim in those two
counties; and owing to the drought
which has prevailed for the past few
years in the above named counties
with fatal effects to the growth
of timber, they may sue
coed in many cases and thus deprive
struggling actual settlers Of the rights
conferred on them by the govern.
ment. Some settlers have invested
their all in their homesteads and tree.
claims for the purpose of making a
home for their children, and in some
cases they have mortgaged their
homesteads and are now depending
on their tree.claim for the ma,nte-
ance of their families, when on come
these ruffians and enter cont est
against them. The settler has, per.
haps. but very little money, to de-
fend his claim and has teiled for the
past 7, or Q years, as the case may
be, to make the trees grow, besides
the money he has invested in the
purchase of young trees. seeds and
cuttings. but which have failed to
grow for the reasons stated.
The land department does not ex.
act impossibilities of man. and least
of all, the actual settler on the pub.
lic domain. Therefore. it appears to
me that it would be we'll for the act
ual settlers, who hold tree claims. in
the counties named, to meet in the
